88.9 WFSE

 

Founded in 1964 as campus radio station WJKB, PennWest Edinboro’s radio tradition began in Centennial Hall using a closed-circuit system delivered through telephone lines. In 1970, the station transitioned to local cable distribution. Under the vision and leadership of Dr. Gary Christiansen, the station took a major step forward in 1978 by obtaining an Federal Communications Commission license to broadcast over the air, laying the foundation for the station’s long-term growth and expanded community impact. 

Today, the station is known as 88.9 WFSE – Fighting Scots Radio, a student-driven radio station serving both campus and community. WFSE features a dynamic mix of rock and alternative/indie music, specialty programming, live broadcasts of campus events and athletics, local news, and community information. Streaming worldwide 24 hours a day, seven days a week, WFSE continues to provide students with real-world broadcasting experience while keeping listeners informed and entertained.
